Abstract

The shoulder girdle is hypermobile and prone to specific injuries in daily activities and sports. The shoulder is a hypermobile joint which is prone to injuries during both daily and sporting activities. So to control the good stability and mobility during activities is very important for the prevention of injury and the preservation of conditioning. Thus, maintaining optimum stability and joint mobility during such activities are crucial for injury prevention and preserving joint function. The classical sports tapings have many problems such as the atrophy of the musculoskeletal tissues, the limitation of joint motion and the perturbation of neuromuscular function. Classical sports taping methods are effective in protecting joints and musculoskeletal structures from injury, but may have side effects such as disuse atrophy of musculoskeletal tissues, limitation of joint motion and perturbation of neuromuscular function. Recently Kinesiotaping was developed for the support of muscular function by Japanese Kenzo Kase. Recently, Kinesiotaping has been developed for the purpose of supporting muscular function. Kinesiotape is very soft and flexible and extended so much as 140∼150% of the original length. The method to use classical tape and Kinesiotape together can be introduced to manage the incidents occurred during taping. The combined application of the classical and Kinesiotaping methods may be beneficial for the overall prevention and management of musculoskeletal injuries.
